Improving Time-Critical Code written in C

Writing web pages is very similar to writing any other type of code. You have to understand how it is going to be used and where you need to really make things run as quickly as possible.

There are a number of tips on this blog already that deal with managed code and ways to optimize it. But one of the things that we don't look at as often are other areas of code that we are dependant on. For example, if you P/Invoke a native function, whatever it is doing, is something that you need to be aware of. Because there is a lot of native functionality that is still available to us, I wanted to remind everyone of some of the tips you can use when dealing with C/C++ code.
